Celebrating Christmas at Olympus
5 strong men posted on a cool, damp morning at Olympus to engage in a little Olympus style Christmas celebration and here’s how we did it:
Gullah on Q
COP:
SSH x 25 IC
Merkins x 15 IC
Main Event: 12 Days of Christmas:
Day 1 = 1 KB Burpee
Day 2 = Viking x 1 R/x 1 L
Day 3 = Snatch x 3 R/x 3 L
Day 4 = Renegade Row x 4 R/x 4 L
Day 5 = KB Lunge x 5 R/x 5 L

Day 8 = Goblet Squat
Day 9 = Russian Twist
Day 10 = Upright Rows
Day 11 = Good Mornings
Day 12 = 12 KB Curls + 12 Tricep Extentions
Cycle complete/20 minutes remaining–hand off to Hoff for gear circuit
Hoff Q
4 Gear Stations consisting of:
Firehose carry to cone and back–served as timer, rotate stations when pax completes the carry.
Barbell carry==walk to cone and back while curling the bar and pressing overhead
Sled pull to cone and back
Medicine ball squat/launch
Hairburners to cone and back
**two cycles thru each station completed–a little time left for some Mary.
Mary:
Form circle with “The Beast” in the middle (a 105lb KB provided courtesy of TR). Move around the circle with each Pax calling out an AB exercise while taking a turn doing 20 KB swings or 20 Good Mornings with The Beast(Pax calling the exercise works The Beast, other Pax perform AB movement).
Times up, we’re done–COT
Great work out there men, pushing through the 12 days only to have to endure 20 minutes of Hoff’s gear stations. Good work by TR & BLC especially as they had injuries they were working through as well. Mighty Might and The Hoff were strong as always. It was good having TR pay us a visit and thanks for introducing us to that monster bell, we won’t soon forget that one! Thanks for supporting Olympus guys and for giving YHC & The Hoff the opportunity to lead. Strong prayer by TR to take us out.
Announcements:
